The process is straight forward. I got interviewed for Senior level, but later on they decided to upped me the higher 3-2. The first round is 1 person for screening. Second round is 3 persons, and then a surprising last round for another director interview.
Interviewers are friendly, supportive and nice overall.
Friendly interviewers and the technical assessments were not too difficult to complete. I enjoyed the post-interview chats with my interviewers, and they were willing to share their personal experience as well. There was not much wait time after the recruiter reached out, and I heard back from the technical assessments about 1-2 weeks after each one.
